Now ~ USA ~ Denver, Colorado


Now What? (1990)

Now's sophomore effort shows the group leaving the hippie university town of Boulder, Colorado, and resettling in the San Francisco Bay Area. Musically, Now What? is more subdued than its riveting predecessor, demonstrating a mix of neo prog, rural psych, and symphonic progressive. The last two tracks, though, recall the debut's psychedelic eclecticism and quirkiness, and represent the highlights here. Reminds me of another Bay Area band: Episode. Not an album likely to set one's world on fire, but still a decent way to pass 40 minutes or so.

Ownership: 1990 Syn-Phonic (LP)
